I wouldn't think it to be a waste as it might urge them on to buuying a new HDTV to take advantage of the new player. Who knows they might even become interested in a new sound system to take advantage of the new HD soundtracks as well. This was how I got into DVD's, my Brother-in-law bought us a DVD(we didn't have a player) and the rest is history. smile
